Exploring Cricut...Be My Valentine

Happy Monday,

I have a card to share with you for this week's Exploring Cricut.  We were asked to create a project with a Valentine theme.

My card:

I began with Crumb Cake card base, followed by some pretty patterned paper from my stash.  I happened to have Love You a Latte cartridge on my desk, since I was working on some projects, so I decided to use it for this challenge.  I cut the to-go cup and all layers at 4 1/2" - perfect size for an A2 card.  I used Whisper White, Tan, Chocolate Chip and Real Red card stock.  I cut a small tag at 1 1/4" using the Elegant Edges cartridge.  I then placed 2 small hearts using a puncher, and a small red rhinestone to one of the hearts.  To finish it off, I wrapped the lid with Red Baker's Twine and tied it to the tag.

Adding my card to:
The Pink Elephant - Challenge # 237 Happy Valentine's Day
Fussy & Fancy - Challenge #107 "Be My Valentine"

Exploring Cricut - Halloween Theme

Happy Monday!

It's another week at Exploring Cricut.  We were asked to create a project with a Halloween theme, along with 2 Cricut cuts.

My card:

I started off with Basic Black, followed with a layer of Whisper White card stock.  I then added a layer of patterned paper from my Halloween scrap pile.  I matted both the image and the orange patterned paper with black card stock.  I decided to use Happy Hauntings Cartridge - one of my favorite cartridges.  I cut the mouse at 2.5 inches and the little pumpkin at 3 inches.  Using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, I cut the word "BOO" at 1 inch.  I then cut the black scallop border at 1 inch using the Elegant Edges cartridge, adhered it under the sentiment and embellished it with orange rhinestones.  For the final touch, I wrapped some black floss beneath the image for some depth.

I'm also linking up at Aud Sentiments Challenge 91 - Funny Halloween and The Pink Elephant Challenge - Trick or Treat Theme.

Happy Birthday Exploring Cricut Challenge

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

Today I have a card to share with you for this week's Exploring Cricut.  This month, they are celebrating their 3rd Birthday!  We were asked to create a birthday paper craft with 1 button, brad or jewel.

My card:

For my card, I chose the Paper Pups Cricut Cartridge.  It's been a long time I don't use this cute cartridge.  I began with Kraft cardstock, followed by pretty papers from the All Spice Collection My Mind's Eye. The border on the right hand side was cut using MFT Die-namic Simply Scallop.  The doggy was cut at 1 1/4", and the party hat at 1".  The scallop circles are from the Elegant Edges cartridge, and they were cut at 3".   The sentiment is from SU! Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set, stamped with Basic Black ink and cropped with Bitty Banners Framelits Die.  For the final touch, I adhered 4 jewels on the right hand side where the scallops join together.

Thanks for stopping by,

     

Exploring Cricut: Cricut Choice

Happy Tuesday!

Just popping in quickly to share a card I made for this week's Exploring Cricut.  We were asked to create a project using 2 cricut cuts.

I decided to use Create a Critter for the cute bird, and Elegant Edges for the scallop frame - two of my favorite cartridges!  My card begins with Kraft card base, and added layers of My Mind's Eye All Spice designer papers.  The bird was cut at 3 inches, and I used dimensionals to pop him up.  The frame was cut at 3 1/2 inches, and to finish it off, I adhered small rhinestones to the four corners.
